here is a link that shows a couple of the parts that you had questions about...
http://www.april1930s.com/html/singe...zag_attac.html

the attachment that is the top far right is THE BINDER... used to apply commercial binding as well as self-fabric bias..

Top left attachment is the EDGE STITCHER - when stitching must be kept accurately on extreme edge of a piece of material. The slots, numbered from 1 -5 serve as guides for sewing together laces, insertions and embroideries, sewing in position hemmed or folded edges, piping or sewing flat braid to a garment 9 singer featherweight 221K owners' manual)

Thank you so much for the information. I couldn't find all of these in the original book. I did find another hemmer type. On the site you gave me I found out that the single hole attachment is a shirring foot or gathering foot, and that the other small foot is called a quilting foot. I really thank you for your help, and I think I spent my $100.00 very wisely. I could not believe all of the attachments, and the zigzag attachment and buttonholer attachment as well. I would say "I Did Good".
I need to clean this new baby up, and plug it in to see if it works, the young lady said it does, and showed me a card giving March 2010 for the last time it was in the shop to be cleaned.
